Here are a few pictures from my trip to Hawaii:

Me and Grandma (paternal)




Me and Grandma (maternal)




Me and Malia Spencer. We are toasting our toes under the kotatsu table (it has a heating lamp underneath and a futon (heavy Japanese blanket) under the tabletop to keep the heat in under the table).




My dad’s hibiscus flowers. Aren’t they gorgeous?




A brownea flower—a very unusual, beautiful flower that is rare in Hawaii, although I think they are more common in Australia.




TMI:

Bible in 90 Days: Day 55. Yup, still going, although I slacked off for a while. I just started the book of Daniel—one of my favorite Old Testament books. The glory of God revealed gives me shivers of anticipation. The New Jerusalem—I’ll actually see it one day! Way cool! The Bible is describing something I’ll see with my own eyes!

Knitting: I ordered some sock yarn from KnitPicks.com (Memories and Palette yarns). It’s soooooo soft, and the colors are sooooo beautiful! I can’t wait to start knitting with it. It was inexpensive, too—double bonus!

I also finished my first adult pair of socks. It’s an easy eyelet pattern. I messed up a little in the gusset, but it still fits great.

    Hi Camy! Looks like you had a really fun holiday. :)

    I just wanted to say thanks - I received The Velveteen Mommy today in the mail. I've very blessed. Thank you!

    Your socks are so cute. Don't know why you'd need them in Hawaii...but still cute. And your dad's flowers...just gorgeous.

    Looks like you had a wonderful time!

    Thanks for sharing the great pictures. The flowers are beautiful and I can't knit for beans so I think the socks look great.

    Socks and flowers are beautiful.

    Hi Malia!

    Camy, can I adopt your grandmothers so I can visit Hawaii?

    Love the pictures! Your dad's flowers are so beautiful!

    I've used the Knit Picks Memories yarn and loved it. It's also nice and soft to wear as well. I haven't used Palette though, and was asking others about how it fares for socks. They said that KP does list it as sock yarn, but some people think it might not wear too well...but I don't know if that is true or not. I was thinking of ordering some and making mittens from it, but haven't so far. You'll have to let me know how Palette works for socks.

    Socks? And a heated table? In Hawaii? Actually, here in Lincoln City, where it's COLD, both sound heavenly. : )

    Your grandmas are way too cute. Lucky girl. Glad you had a fun time. Missed you! The Pacific Time Zone just ain't the same without you.

    Aw, what great pictures. My only living grandmother is in Ireland. I don't get to see her much, probably like you. Isn't it great to have those photos to cherish the time together??

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

While renovating her new dog kenneling and training facility, she needs to move in with her disapproving family, who have always made her feel inadequate—according to them, a job requiring her to be covered in dog hair and slobber is an embarrassment to the family. She convinces her ex-boyfriend to take her dog for a few months … but discovers that his brother is the irate security expert whose car she accidentally rear-ended a few weeks earlier. Ashwin Keitou has enough problems. His aunt has just shown up on his doorstep, expecting to move in with him, and he can’t say no because he owes her everything—after his mother walked out on them, Aunt Nell took in Ashwin and his brother and raised them in a loving Christ
